KLM refused this weekend, because of the travel ban, to take some passengers aboard who wanted to go to the United States. A spokeswoman for KLM said today that the company thus follows the instructions of the US authorities.

The protesters carried signs with slogans like “Trump psychopath” and “Stop Trump and Wilders“.

According to the activists there are about two hundred people around the world stuck at airports because they are not allowed into the USA.

“We protest tonight against the fact that people are stuck at Schiphol, can not go home because their president refused access to their own country because they have a Muslim background,” said Anne-Fleur Dekker, initiator of the protest, to a reporter of North Holland TV. She also spoke out against the plans of [Dutch Trump fan Geert] Wilders, who according to her “has said today to the media that he agrees with Trump.”
